Hi friends as many of you know I am near the jersey shore and it has been pretty devastating to see the total mess that is left. Our boardwalks are gone, the streets are filled with sand knee high, the houses have been flooded and nearly picked up and tossed around. Thankfully, in my neighborhood we had minimal damage , did have some power outages and no cable or internet but am thankful we are all still alive and well. I had to work when the storm was planning on hitting so we were told to pack our bags because we would be "stuck" there for few days depending upon the other shifts being able to get in and us being able to get back. So not only did I pack the essentials but I packed "safe" food for me to remain accountable to my lifestyle, we all know all it takes is a little bit of stress, being out of our comfort zone added with a natural distaster = recipe for our own disaster! I made eggs and bacon and placed in tupperware, peanuts, pepperoni, cheese , jello and greens to reheat. I remained focused and did not derail proud to say! It is going to take months if not years to rebuild our community over here, president Obama was here yesterday to assess the damage. Keep all of us in your prayers! Just wanted to check in and remain accountable for my new lifestyle Xoxo
